Jonathan is absolutely right about how folks in other ctluures tend to focus more on relationships than we in America typically do. I knew Jonathan and his wife Debbie (assuming it's the same Jonathan and Debbie Crocker!) when my wife Mary and I were serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators and living in Long Crendon, England in the late 1980s. I think of the many folks whose paths I've crossed over the years among them Jonathan and Debbie but with whom I'm no longer in touch, because I got caught up over time with the pressures of the moment rather than with the people God had brought into my life. Glad I ran across your blog hopefully Mary and I can reconnect with Jonathan and Debbie as a result. Thank you, Mark, for touching the lives of the people of Bulgaria, and for offering a forum for your readers to touch the lives of others as well.
